Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10
benfrog writes "In a blog post, Mark Shuttleworth announced some changes for Ubuntu 12.10 (due in October), including the code name (Quantal Quetzal — no, really) and a theme update. He said, 'That will kick off with a project on typography to make sure we are expressing ourselves with crystal clarity – making the most of Ubuntu’s Light and Medium font weights for a start. And a project on iconography, with the University of Reading, to refine the look of apps and interfaces throughout the platform. It’s amazing how quaint the early releases of Ubuntu look compared to the current style. And we’re only just getting started! In our artistic explorations we want to embrace tessellation as an expression of the part-digital, part-organic nature of Ubuntu.' Some other more meaningful announcements include a focus on the cloud in the server version and the lack of a transition from Upstart to systemd."
Didn't I tell you to quit making up animals?
Please consider this account deleted, I just can't be bothered with the spam anymore.
They've released a few screenshots demonstrating the cleaner, lighter typeface and refined iconography.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
No, that would be Queer Quetzal.

Thanks! Worked like a charm!
Does normal seeking in the scrollbar work again (middle-click) ?
It indeed does.
Whose retard disabled seeking in a bar designed essentially to seek ?!
I don't know who the owner of the retard in question is, sorry.
The state you are in while your HEAD is detached... - wait, what?
You can also install it through the software manager.
